[Closed] Copying texture map

newdir = "C:\\New Folder\\" 
maplist = usedmaps()
makedir newdir
for map in maplist do 


(mapname = FilenameFromPath map
copyfile map (newdir+mapname)
)

Instead of the above approach I get my array of maps used in the scene by using the function getClassInstances BitmapTexture
and sort through

 bmaps = getClassInstances BitmapTexture
 local filesCopied = 0

 for b in bmaps do ( 
	 local tmp_fileToCopy = ("C_" + b.fileName)
	 if (doesFileExist b.fileName) then (
		  copyFile b.fileName tmp_fileToCopy        
		  filesCopied+=1                 
	 )
	 else (
		  format "File: % does not exist. Skipping.
" b.filename
	 )
 )
 

another approach you might consider. Usedmaps() is great because you can call it on a specific object.

I appreciate the replies I was busy the last couple of days and unable to get to this.

I jumped in and was trying to get the this working but I am still running into some problems.

I got this to work but I am running into the problem that the file is being saved out into 1 level up folder of my getsavepath.

what I mean is if my “getsavepath” is c:\document and settings\sethwolford\MyDoc then it saves the file in the “sethwolford folder”

I am including the code so that you can see what I mean and if there are any better ways to do it. I am still learning so I appreciate any and all help.

P.S. I realized that there was a script called “mapcollector” that does an excellent job of doing what I want but I figured this is a good opportunity to learn more

/* 
 usedmaps() --used to get 
 all the maps 
 */

I actually just wrote this function to do just that!

fn getSubDirectoryName thePath = (
	local my_arr = filterstring thePath "/\\"	
	local arr_length = my_arr.count
	local newPath = ""
	
	if (findString my_arr[arr_length] ".") == undefined then
		newPath = my_arr[arr_length]		-- The path ends with a directory
	else
		newPath = my_arr[arr_length-1]		-- The path has a filename at the end

	return newPath
)

fn getSubDirectoryPath thePath = (
	local my_arr = filterstring thePath "/\\"	
	local arr_length = my_arr.count
	local new_length = 0
	local newPath = ""
	
	if (findString my_arr[arr_length] ".") == undefined then
		new_length = arr_length-1
	else 
		new_length = arr_length-2

	for i = 1 to new_length do (
		newPath += my_arr[i] + "/"
	)
	return newPath
)

getSubDirectoryPath "c:\\documents and settings\\sethwolford\\MyDoc"
getSubDirectoryName "c:\\documents and settings\\sethwolford\\MyDoc"

That should help you out!
